The Petra Zone

any updates on the cornerstone festival guys?

I've been wondering the same thing.

look at the pictures for the concert on the classic petra blog. a guy said that they played beat the system! I wonder what the set will be for the u s states?

Someone who was there emailed me that the concert was a flop, when they start playing people started leaving an there was a less than 200 people there... I really hope this aint true, I feel like crying thinking how hard this must have been.

People look pretty pumped about it on the pictures, and the crowd looks in the thousands, sounds like a bad joke

I hope so.

What I heard is that Bob's guitar wasn't tuned correctly and they were out of key. They tried to make amends during the song (Clean), but then stopped, re-tuned the guitar and continued successfully. So maybe someone heard the first bit that was out of key and decided to leave after that?

I did find some videos from the E Band reunion show with Greg.

In my opinion, E-Band had stronger songs than anything on the first Petra album. Strange they never got to release an album... Maybe the christian world wasn't ready for them.

Looks like quite a bit more people than the reported 200. So I don't believe the rest of this guy's report either.

Here a link to download the .flv-file that I grabbed from YouTube: http://www.mediafire.com/?fc9axgpbcn41m4q

It's live footage and some pictures to the music of Godpleaser. So no live audio.

Yeah that video totally proves there is more than 200 people.

After looking at the photos from the Cornerstone show, I have a couple of things to say.

1. It looks like they had a good time and the crowd is about what I expected

2. Bob has got to stop wearing those dark shorts and shoes and those white tube socks. It looks like my grandpa coming home down from the mountain(West Virginia) after going fishing; boy those were the days.

Is it wierd to say that I was actually breathless watching that video? I mean, come on people, Petra is BACK!!!!! Whatever the lineup, Petra Is On A Stage Again!!!!! Doesn't anyone else find that a LITTLE thrilling?????



Okay, I'll shutup now.

Yes it is very wierd!!!! That's ok, I'm a pretty wierd person so I'm right there with ya!!!
The video takes me back to watching the "Beyond Belief" and "Back Stage Pass" videos of them on outdoor stages doing sound checks. The only thing different is Mark and Greg are in the shots, but it's awesome, seeing Louie back on the drums and seing John back on keyboards, I had wished John at least could have come back for the farewell tour, I really missed seeing Him on the Petra stage, You can see the love of God all over John L.
